 PRAYER, WORSHIP, THANKS AND PRAISE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS. 

OFFERING TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, THE MISSION WORKS DONE FOR HIS GREATER HONOR AND GLORY.

GAVE WHAT I HAVE FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE MISSION WORKS.

WE BORROWED P1,000 FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE MISSION WORKS.

ASIDE FROM WHAT WE POST IN THIS BLOG, WE ARE ALSO HELPING OTHER POOR FAMILIES TO FIND A SUITABLE LIVELIHOOD, BE IT PART TIME OR FULL TIME, WHENEVER WE CAME TO KNOW OF A JOB OPPORTUNITY, OR WORK OPPORTUNITY.

THIS IS DONE FOR FREE, TO HELP POOR FAMILIES, THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF OUR FIRST ELDER.

AS FOR MY PART, WHATEVER MISSION WORKS THAT I AM ASSIGNED TO BY THE HOLY ONE, AND GIVEN THE TASK TO REPORT IT, I WILL REPORT IT.

WHATEVER THE HOLY ONE WILL NOT ALLOW TO POST, I WILL NOT POST, NOR WRITE.

ALL IS UNDER THE ORDERS AND EDICT OF THE HOLY ONE, WHOSE WILL I FOLLOW.

GLORY BE TO THE HOLY ONE.

NIGHT OF DECEMBER 15, 2013- SUNDAY

MET WITH ONE OF OUR ELDERS.

DURING OUR CONVERSATION, REPRESENTATIVES FROM OTHER POOR FAMILIES WE ARE HELPING CAME.

A MOTHER OF 10 CHILDREN CAME AND REQUESTED HELP FOR HER SICK CHILD FOR MEDICINES TO BE BOUGHT.

 TOLD HER THAT WE HAVE A FREE CLINIC EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY, THAT IMPARTS FREE MEDICINES FOR THE SICK.

IF SHE WILL BRING HER SICK CHILDREN THERE, THE MEDICINE OF THE CHILDREN WILL BE FREE, AND THERE WILL BE EASE IN THE BURDEN THAT A PART OF THEIR MEAGER INCOME WILL GO TO THE PURCHASE OF MEDICINES.

GAVE HER P100 AT THIS TIME

 ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE FROM A POOR FAMILY CAME, WHOSE MOTHER IS SICK WITH A CHRONIC DISEASE THAT NEEDS MEDICATION, ASIDE FROM TWO CHILDREN GOING TO SCHOOL, WITH NEEDS.

GAVE HER THIS, FOR ASSISTANCE.

 OUR FIRST ELDER CAME IN THE MEETING.

I WAS INFORMED THAT SHE BORROWED P1,000 FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF OUR MISSION WORKS.

AFTER THE MEETING, I SOLD A PERSONAL ITEM AT P1,000 TO PAY FOR THIS DEBT.

DISTRIBUTED OUR REMAINING MONEY TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

DECEMBER 16, 2013- MONDAY

THE LAST MONEY I HAVE IN MY WALLET IS AT P440

GAVE THE P400 FOR POOR FAMILIES TO SURVIVE.

THE P40 I RETAINED IN CASE THERE IS A NEED FOR ME TO GO SOMEWHERE TO OBTAIN THE MUCH NEEDED FUNDS THIS DAY.

ONLY GOD KNOWS, AND ONLY GOD HAS THE POWER TO GIVE US THE RESOURCES TO CONTINUE ON WITH OUR MISSION WORKS.

THEREFORE, FOR NOW, ALL MISSION WORKS ARE HALTED UNTIL HELP FROM GOD ARRIVES TO US- FOR  THE CONTINUATION OF THE MISSION WORKS.

REMEMBERED SOME TOPICS OF LAST NIGHT'S MEETING:

1

DO WHAT IS ORDERED BY GOD TO DO

2

DO NOT DO WHAT GOD DOES NOT PERMIT TO DO DURING THE FULFILLMENT OF HIS MISSION WORKS.

3

 WITHOUT THE PERMISSION AND AUTHORITY OF GOD, WE CANNOT PROCEED SAFELY IN THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR MISSION WORKS.

4

DO NOT DEPEND ON ONE'S OWN UNDERSTANDING. INSTEAD, DEPEND ON GOD AND KEEP AWAY FROM EVIL.

5

GOD HATES THE EVIL THAT PEOPLE DO. 

GOD DOES NOT HATE PEOPLE- BUT DESIRES PEOPLE TO DO HIS DIVINE WILL, AND LIVE ACCORDING TO THE DIVINE WILL..

6

MANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD DO THINGS ONLY TO PLEASE THEMSELVES AND NOT TO PLEASE GOD. 

BECAUSE OF THIS, GOD BECOMES DEAF TO THEIR PRAYERS AND BLIND TO THEIR PETITIONS.

THAT IS WHY PRAYERS ARE NOT GRANTED.

7

THERE IS A NEED FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN, A MAN MADE HOLY BY GOD, TO PRAY FOR A PERSON WHO HAS LOST CONNECTION TO GOD BECAUSE OF THEIR SELFISHNESS, AND SINFULNESS.

THIS IS THE BASIS FOR THE INTERCESSION OF THE SAINTS AND RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE FOR PRAYERS TO BE HEARD.

IF A PERSON HAS LOST CONNECTION WITH GOD, NO AMOUNT OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL REDEEM THEM, SAVE IF SOMEONE WHO IS RECOGNIZED BY GOD TO PRAY FOR THEIR BEHALF, AND GOD GRANTS THAT PRAYER.

8

UNLESS A PERSON GAINS THE STATUS OF BEING MADE HOLY BY GOD, OR HAVE MADE AS A CHILD OF GOD, OR IS RIGHTEOUS UNDER GOD, ONE'S PRAYERS CANNOT BE HEARD BY GOD NOT WOULD IT BE GRANTED BY GOD.

9

IF SOMEONE EVIL PRAYS FOR EVIL AND WICKED THINGS AND THEIR PRAYERS ARE GRANTED, IT IS NOT THE GOD OF GODS WHO GRANTS THEM, BUT A GOD WHO SHOWS PARTIALITY TO THE WICKED WHO HEARS THEIR PRAYERS.

SHARING PARTS OF WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED IN THE MEETING.

WE DO THESE MISSION WORKS FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD.

THE BASIS FOR THESE MISSION WORKS:

 Luke 10:27 He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" 

 LOVE OF GOD AND LOVE OF NEIGHBOR IS GOD'S GREATEST COMMANDMENT TO US.

 1 TIMOTHY 6:18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 

 THE FOLLOWERS OF GOD ARE COMMANDED TO DO GOOD, TO BE RICH IN GOOD DEEDS, TO BE GENEROUS, AND WILLING TO SHARE. 

 TO THESE COMMANDS WE DO OUR DAILY OUTREACH AND MISSION. 

 MATTHEW 5: 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. 

 TO THIS COMMAND WE ARE POSTING THE DAILY MISSION WORKS WE ARE DOING- TO GLORIFY GOD, OUR FATHER, IN HEAVEN. 

 2 CORINTHIANS 9:12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 

 ALL THE SERVICES WE PERFORM TO HELP THE NEEDS OF GOD'S PEOPLE IS AN EXPRESSION OF THANKING GOD IN MANY WAYS. 

 WE RECEIVE EVERYTHING FROM GOD'S GOODNESS: 

OUR VERY LIFE, 

OUR CAPACITY TO THINK, 

TO FEEL, 

TO MOVE, 

TO WORK, 

TO ENJOY,

 TO FEEL, 

AND EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE 

AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE 

ARE THE RESULT OF GOD'S GOODNESS UPON US. 

 AS OUR WAY OF EXPRESSING OUR THANKS TO GOD, WE ALSO IN TURN HELP GOD'S PEOPLE IN NEED. 

 WHO ARE GOD'S PEOPLE? 

 THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MERCY IN THEIR HEARTS. 

 FOR GOD'S PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO RECEIVE MERCY FROM GOD- AND THOSE WHO HAVE MERCY IN THEIR HEARTS AND SHOW MERCY TO OTHERS, EVEN IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS- ARE GOD'S PEOPLE. 

 THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN ARE GOD'S PEOPLE. 

 IT IS WRITTEN:

 MATTHEW 25:40 And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me. 

 WHO ARE THE LEAST OF OUR KING'S BROTHERS? 

 MATTHEW 25:35-36 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 

 WHATEVER WE DO TO THEM, WE DO TO OUR LORD AND KING.

THEREFORE, WE KNOW THAT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS GOD'S WILL, FOR THERE IS BASIS FOR THESE MISSION WORKS TO BE DONE FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD.

ALL ARE DONE FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD, AND NOT FOR PERSONAL GLORY.

PERSONAL GLORY IS USELESS- WE DIE ALL THE SAME, AND ALL WE HAVE WORKED FOR RESULTS AND AMOUNT TO NOTHING.

WITHOUT GOD AS THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR OUR ACTIONS AND OUR LABORS, WE TOIL IN VAIN, FOR NOTHING.

WHEN WE PUT GOD AS OUR PRIMARY GOAL FOR ALL OUR ACTIONS, WE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY ALSO ACT AND DO WHAT IS HELPFUL AND SIGNIFICANT FOR OTHERS.

FOR IT IS GOD'S WILL TO DO WHAT IS GOOD, AND TO DO OUR ACTIONS BASED ON LOVE.

LOVE AS COMMANDMENT OF GOD MEANS THAT WE LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND WE LOVE OTHERS AS WE LOVE OURSELVES.

IF THE TIME COMES THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOVE OUR BRETHREN AS THE LOVE CHRIST HAS SHOWN FOR HIS FRIENDS, THEN, THAT IS THE NEW COMMANDMENT THAT WE ARE TO FOLLOW.

THOSE WHO SAVE THEIR OWN LIVES SHALL LOSE IT.

BECAUSE LIFE IS INSIGNIFICANT WHEN LIVED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SELF GRATIFICATION.

THOSE WHO LOSE THEIR LIVES FOR MY SAKE SHALL INHERIT/GAIN IT.

FOR THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES IS TO DO GOD'S WILL AND TO PLEASE GOD.

WE HAVE ONLY GOD TO PLEASE, AND WE HAVE NO DUTY TO PLEASE OTHER PEOPLE.

BUT IN DOING GOD'S WILL, IT IS INEVITABLE THAT WE WILL HELP OTHER PEOPLE, AND LOVE THEM.

WHY?

IT IS GOD'S WILL THAT WE DO SO.

HOW CAN WE LOVE GOD WHO IS UNSEEN IF WE DO NOT LOVE OTHERS WHOM WE SEE EVERYDAY?

THEREFORE, LOVE OF OTHERS EVENTUALLY LEAD TO LOVE OF GOD.

THUS, LOVE FULFILLS ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.

LOVE CANNOT BE WITHOUT SACRIFICE,

FOR IT IS ONLY TRUE LOVE THAT CAN SACRIFICE FOR THE ONE WHOM WE LOVE.

IN FULFILLING THESE MISSION WORKS, WE SACRIFICE A LOT.

A PART OF OUR LIVES WE SACRIFICE FOR THE LOVE OF OTHERS.

AND THIS SACRIFICE OF LOVE, IS PLEASING TO GOD.

FOR WHAT WE DO TO OTHERS, WE DO TO OUR GOD.

 SURRENDERING TO GOD EVERYTHING. 

 THANKING THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, FOR EVERYTHING. 

THANKING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING US CONTINUE ON WITH THE MISSIONARY WORKS. 

MAY FORGIVENESS, BLESSINGS, GRACE AND GUIDANCE BE UPON THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING US HELP OTHERS. 

PRAYING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD THAT GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, GOD'S JUSTICE, AND GOD'S MERCY BE KNOWN TO HUMANITY. 

MAY GOD'S LOVE SPREAD TO THIS WORLD THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF GOD. 

 GLORY BE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS 

AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM 

UT IN OMNIBUS GLORIUS DEUS
